Seventy-five years ago, in 1945, America dropped the world's first deployed atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima and changed the course of history. Milton Lockett was serving in the United States Navy in the South Pacific. He chronicled these events in cartoons.
Eighty-two original World War II cartoons capture the Pacific Theater through the end of the war: the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the bomb, the occupation of Japan, going home, and re- entering life as a civilian. A Radioman's Journey Through World War II shares artifacts and memoirs of the great war using original cartoons by Milton A. Lockett, Radioman Third Class, with reflections 75 years later on his youthful experiences. Interspersed with the cartoons and the artist's memories of Navy life, you will find interesting facts about the war and wartime memorabilia from his private collection of memories.
You will laugh. You will cry. You will be amazed at the symbolism encapsulated in each cartoon. You will learn. You will grow. You will be moved to pay tribute to those men and women who fight to preserve our freedom.
This is a must-read.
